Abstract. An analysis for non steady state heat transfer of a hot pressing roller was suggested in !
dimensional model. The surface temperature on hot pressing roller was predicted by using surface
contact heat transfer coefficient calculated with induced analytic solution. We calculated the size of
iron powder, influencing on surface contact heat transfer coefficient. Since coarse iron powder has
reduced heat transfer coefficient during contacting on roll surface with smaller contact area,
temperature on roller surface has been expected to decrease. This predicted temperature by the
analytic model was fairly reasonable in comparison with experimental data and finite element
model.
Introduction
A hot roll pressing system is often utilized for agglomerating hot particulate matters because of
conceptual simplicity and an economical operation cost. For a successful operation of a roll
compaction, there have been many studies on rolling parameters [1-3]. A main focus of these
studies is a final product not a roller. However, a thermal behavior of the roller during hot pressing
is very closely related with a lifetime of the roller, and fmally affects the production efficiency. To
obtain appropriate operating conditions of the hot roll pressing, it is necessary to analyze the
thermal behavior of the roller. In this study, an analytic model, which can calculate non steady state
heat transfer of the hot pressing roller, was suggested. The accuracy of the analytic model was
verified with a finite element method (FEM) and experimental results.
Mathematical method
The hot pressing roller with a spiral type cooling system is illustrated in Fig I. Here, ro and rs
indicate the distance from a roll center to a cooling pipe and a total radius of the roller, respectively.
The analytic solution for non steady state heat transfer of the roller is solved in spherical coordinate

to simplify the calculation system. For the purpose of reducing the error due to the coordinate
change, a correction factor was introduced in a heat transfer coefficient.
A governing equation and boundary conditions of heat transfer at the spherical coordinate are
given by

respectively. he. and hs are the heat transfer coefficient between cooling pipe and roller and the one

Experiment and FEM modeling
The roll pressing with roll speed of 5rpm was carried out to measure the temperature at a roll
surface using an IR camera. SKT4 steel was used as a material of the roller. Two kinds of iron
powder, course powder named as PM1 and fine powder named as PM2, were used in the roll
compaction. tr and t; were 12sec and 1.5sec, respectively. Sizes and properties of the roller[8], the
cooling water[9] and the powder were listed in table 1. This roller was converted into a finite
element mesh with commercially available ABAQUS software as shown in Fig. 2. The calculation
was carried out by using the 8 node diffusive heat transfer elements (DCAX8R) for the heat transfer
analysis.
Results and discussion
Fig. 3 shows the temperature variation measured at the roll surface during rolling compared with the
FEM simulation and the analytic solution. As the time increases, the temperature at the roll surface
calculated by the FEM and the analytic solution gradually increases with the fluctuation due to the
contact between the hot powder and the roller surface. It can be observed that the measured
temperature is in good agreement with the FEM calculation and the analytic solution. In case of the
